The basic problem is that it's a matter of "it depends what you're
building and whether or not there are any other constraints on your
layout". Kenneth Reitz has a decent guide that he posted recently
([1]), but see the comments below the post for some useful caveats and
discussion.

Ultimately though, providing a place to provide opinionated advice on
exactly this kind of question is why the Hitchhiker's Guide to Python
[2] was created.
